That's quite surprising considering so many roads wouldn't have more than 200 houses in.

My thoughts exactly - most strange!

Oh and, no, in the twenties.

It may be that longer roads are in towns and cities, where crime is higher, as opposed to '6 Berkeley Mews' etc. But it is surprising, yes.

"Now is a peak time for home insurance claims as there have been more people in the house over Christmas which usually means more accidents," said Gareth Kloet, head of home insurance at the website."

I don't understand that at all. Surely there are the same amount of people in houses at christmas, as there are at any other time of year.

If there are more people in some houses, then there must be less people in other houses, which will be good targets for burglars hehe

Isn't this just a case of correlation does not imply causation ?

Thwe answer could be in this:


"The unscientific study, which uses information from visitors to the website, found that number 201 was next on the list, followed by number one.

The widely-perceived unlucky number of 13 was way down the ranking, at 182nd. Also found in the top 10 were house numbers 190, 240, 241, 221, 217, 218 and 121.

Random numbers looking for a quote without using their real address?
